Visit To The Richard Mille Watch Manufacture
It may be a bold statement, but I like to think about the brand Richard Mille as both the jester and the rocket scientist within the fictional realm of haute horlogerie.?Since its launch?in 2001, and especially during the last couple of years, it has not only dreamt big time and time again, bringing down at least some of the old-fashioned walls which?older governors of fine watch making had built around themselves, but also had the know-how to back up those extremely bold ideas and realize them.Probably the first logical question that springs to mind upon a first encounter with the brand is the question of "why?" as in, why?would anyone build?their company?on the fundaments of admittedly?and consistently bold designs and ideas coupled with?luxury pricing? Time provided the answer: because it works.The first page in the success story of the luxury sports watch has arguably been written by the Royal Oak of Audemars Piguet, demonstrating the validity of this market segment.

26405ce or 26400io
Hi folks,Coming over from the Pam and Rolex world, looking for my first AP ROO and torn between the new ceramic 26405ce or the titanium 26400io. I know I want 44mm, so the 26470s aren't in the running. I aware of & OK with the issues that some of the movements have, and I am not concerned about price difference, guessing potential future value, scratching the watch, or re-selling it. I see this as a desk-diving daily watch.While I know the answer to this question is usually The one that sings to you, I'm curious to hear comments or input from the new model ceramic and titanium owners that might highlight something I haven't thought about yet. My one concern IS that I have only tried on the 26400io in person. I haven't seen the 26405ce in person and fear I won't love it when I see it. The ceramic iteration isn't exactly sitting in abundance in the back rooms of the ADs... Happy to currently have this problem :) Thoughts?

15710st vs. 26470st
Regardless of dial colors. Which one would you go for and why?Also, if you were to have the diver, would you consider trading for the 42mm chrono?I wasn't able to find a hit comparing these two ROO

Super Avenger has taken in water! =(
Hello everyone,I'm really bummed and would like your comments and knowledge on this.Last night I decided to put my SA on a leather strap, and proceeded to remove the bracelet. When I did so, I noticed the watch was a bit dirty between the lugs, so I washed it with a bit of soap at the bathroom sink. Before doing this, I made completely sure the crown was fully screwed in. After the wash, I dried the watch with a towel AND some soft toilet paper. After this, I unscrewed the crown to wind the watch and set the right time and date. All went well and my SA looked terrific on leather. This morning, however, after wearing the watch out in the sun, I noticed condensation underneath the crystal! Needless to say my heart sank. The condensation actually formed in the shape of the chronographs and hands. The only way I can imagine water may have gotten into the watch is when, AFTER drying the watch with a towel AND toilet paper, I unscrewed the crown to set the time and date. Has this ever happen

Omega Liquid Metal
I saw this Omega model on ebay and was wondering if anyone has this watch and could give some feedback. Apparently, it's a rare model as I haven't seen it anywhere else. Thanks!.ebay/itm/Omega-Seamas...ht_1564wt_1037
